Holy crap! I wish I had that kind of money. If it really has an LS7 it's pretty bad, probably high 11s.

i actually talk to him on another forum. its not an ls7 i believe he told me it was out of a vette. i believe its an ls6 he says its 385hp and only has 2.73s in the rear that hes swapping out for 3.55s. i dont think he has much in it. he did all the fab himself. none the less sick.

That is sweet. Once my extended warrenty is up if I had he money I would do a swap and conversion too. But I think I'll have another project vehicle before than... How sick would it be it it was AWD?

Agreed... I was hoping the cops would show up. And doing burn outs with rubber band tires, on what looked like 22 inch wheels doesn't really make much sense to me.

pretty cool however its NOT an LS7, I don't hear 500 hp there. I'm pretty sure you'll whoop his *** too if you can hook.

Blakk SS, I had pics on monte carlo forum but I pulled them since the car is now up & running, & Im getting so much flack about the car. I had joined this site & forgot about it. I was at work doing something constructive with my spare time... Im here now airing out the laundry wit the haters.
Ya see, they dont understand that thats not a race car..... its not a ghetto 'hood car either, Ive heard it all. A simple tire/wheel swap will change the whole personality of a car. I just wanted something to fill that bigass wheelwell up.
If Chip Foose were standing next to it with 22s a bottle of Mothers' and a two tone all the net would be sucking him off! Guess these dummies want me to drive a car like that with 215/70 series tires on it?

It is a testament of what I can achieve, what Ive learned to do in my career. Thank you.

Thank you very much, Monte Man for straightenning that out.
I would like to own the one with the $14,000 motor in it, too, lol. I see now that were going to have to build another car. I'll put a hitch on my current one & pull the Race cars' trailor with it out to the track. Lmaooo.
